Um! Think what it might be like if we were asked to endure the austere policies that have been placed on the Greeks by the EU if politicians here fear voting for SS benefits to be raised a couple years. Maybe when you said "we aren't the Greeks," and I thought you meant we "aren't that weak," you really meant that we don't have the pain tolerance of even that of the Greeks. Politicians, to keep their seats, have to understand the tolerance of their constituents. They don't seem to think that our tolerance to "pain" or even inconvience is too great. I'm just saying. |

It is my belief that most politicans hold us in contempt. |

"They don't seem to think that our tolerance to "pain" or even inconvience is too great." As evidenced by their re-election time after time. |

Well, that's because i'm different than most people. Someone told me one time, in one word, tell me about yourself. I said, "I'm not into following rules."....lol |

If you deny that we have a spending problem then there's nothing to discuss. Spending deniers. Edited by Stoney, Feb 22 2012, 08:07 AM.

I haven't seen anyone on the left arguing that we didn't have a spending problem. Are you looking for an excuse not to discuss this? |
